Chapter 3, Problem 9CR

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin temperature scales should be defined and described.

Concept Introduction:

The temperature can be measured using three scales: Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin. The freezing point of water in Fahrenheit is ${32}^0\text{F}$ and boiling point of water in Fahrenheit is ${212}^0\text{F}$, the interval between the two is $180$ units. Similarly, in Celsius scale, the boiling point and freezing point of water is $0^0\text{C}$ and ${100}^0\text{C}$ respectively. The SI unit of temperature is Kelvin.
